[0028] (Example 1) A recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention registers personal data on the cloud and analyzes it with a generation AI. The system then makes optimal recommendations for clothing, glasses, accessories, and shoes based on data such as face, body type, orientation, and chronic illnesses. In this recommendation system, users register their own face photos, body type information, orientation, chronic illnesses, and other data on the cloud. The generation AI then analyzes this data and recommends items that are optimal for the user. For example, the system can recommend glasses that fit their face shape, clothes that fit their body type, and shoes that take chronic illnesses into consideration. This system allows users to easily find the items that are best for them, improving shopping efficiency. First, a user registers their own data on the cloud. At this time, they input detailed data such as a face photo, body type information, orientation, and chronic illnesses. For example, they upload a face photo and enter their height, weight, preferred style, allergy information, and so on. Next, the generation AI analyzes the input data. The generation AI determines the face shape from the face photo and the body type from the body type information. Furthermore, the system considers the orientation and chronic illness data to recommend items that are optimal for the user. For example, the system can recommend glasses that fit their face shape, clothes that fit their body type, and shoes that take chronic illnesses into consideration. The generated suggestions are provided to the user. For example, the suggestions are displayed on the user's smartphone or computer. The user can review the suggested items and purchase them. This system allows users to easily find the items that best suit them, improving shopping efficiency. For example, by being recommended glasses that fit the shape of the face, users will no longer have to worry about choosing glasses. Also, by being recommended clothes that fit the body type, users can avoid the hassle of trying on clothes. Furthermore, by being recommended shoes that take into account chronic illnesses, users can enjoy fashion while maintaining their health. This allows the suggestion system to efficiently collect and analyze user data and make optimal suggestions.
[0029] The proposal system according to the embodiment includes an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The acquisition unit registers user data on the cloud.

[0056] (Example 2) A recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention registers personal data on the cloud and analyzes it with a generation AI. The system then makes optimal recommendations for clothing, glasses, accessories, and shoes based on data such as face, body type, orientation, and chronic illnesses. In this recommendation system, users register their own face photos, body type information, orientation, chronic illnesses, and other data on the cloud. The generation AI then analyzes this data and recommends items that are optimal for the user. For example, the system can recommend glasses that fit their face shape, clothes that fit their body type, and shoes that take chronic illnesses into consideration. This system allows users to easily find the items that are best for them, improving shopping efficiency. First, a user registers their own data on the cloud. At this time, they input detailed data such as a face photo, body type information, orientation, and chronic illnesses. For example, they upload a face photo and enter their height, weight, preferred style, allergy information, and so on. Next, the generation AI analyzes the input data. The generation AI determines the face shape from the face photo and the body type from the body type information. Furthermore, the system considers the orientation and chronic illness data to recommend items that are optimal for the user. For example, the system can recommend glasses that fit their face shape, clothes that fit their body type, and shoes that take chronic illnesses into consideration. The generated suggestions are provided to the user. For example, the suggestions are displayed on the user's smartphone or computer. The user can review the suggested items and purchase them. This system allows users to easily find the items that best suit them, improving shopping efficiency. For example, by being recommended glasses that fit the shape of the face, users will no longer have to worry about choosing glasses. Also, by being recommended clothes that fit the body type, users can avoid the hassle of trying on clothes. Furthermore, by being recommended shoes that take into account chronic illnesses, users can enjoy fashion while maintaining their health.

Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0149] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0150] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0151] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0152] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0153] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0154] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0155] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0156] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0157] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0158] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0159] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0160] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0161] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0162] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
[0163] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
